Pros

All the reasons are secondary. I feel there are no primary reasons related to work.

  1. The initial training period (for a fresher) of 2 months will be awesome. You will learn various languages and aspects of software engineering.
  2. Enjoy the brand name. Everyone knows SONY.
  3. Enjoy SONY products at a discounted rate.

Cons
  1. There is no guarantee for a fresher to which project they will be assigned.

The probability of changing the project afterwards tends to null.

  1. The worst aspect is the 2-year service agreement worth 2 lakhs INR.

Where in the world will you see that!!

  1. There is no respect for employees whatsoever.

HR is very, very unsupportive.

They do whatever they want.

  1. Ten months of on-the-job training is literally of no use.

They spent zero after 2 months of initial (external) training.

  1. Pay standards are very low, often non-negotiable.

Complete exploitation for a fresher.

  1. Two out of ten projects are development ones.

Rest all are testing, support, and maintenance.

It's like having SISC as our own Wipro/TCS.

  1. The organization does not have a clear vision for the GETs or freshers.

  2. They will make lots of talk and promises during the campus recruitment drive.

Advice to Management

Some sincere efforts to attract and retain employees. Quality work lacks.
